Nortel and SecureLogix Team to Deliver Voice Security and
Management Solutions to Worldwide Enterprise Market
SecureLogix Technology Integral to Nortel’s
New Voice Security Services Offering
SAN ANTONIO (Business Wire EON) June 2, 2008 --
SecureLogix Corporation and Nortel
have formed a strategic relationship to deliver first-of-kind
voice security and management solutions to enterprise customers
worldwide.
Under the new sales and marketing agreement, Nortel and certified Nortel
resellers will market and sell the SecureLogix®
ETM®
System and related voice security assessment and monitoring services
as part of Nortel’s new Voice Security
Services offering. On May 6, 2008, Nortel and SecureLogix announced
that Spring Independent School District in Houston, Texas was their most
recent joint-customer win under the new services relationship.
Nortel Voice Security Services combine patented technology from SecureLogix
with Nortel voice and security expertise to help enterprise customers
secure multi-vendor, multi-technology voice networks. These services
include assessment of costly voice service theft and misuse across the
enterprise, inefficient phone service configuration and resource
utilization, and underlying voice network vulnerabilities that threaten
the security of voice and data networks. Nortel resolves these issues
through ‘best practices’
consulting and implementation of the SecureLogix ETM
System.
The ETM System is a comprehensive voice network security and management
platform, enabling customers to protect critical voice and data network
resources from telephony-based attack and abuse, optimize their telecom
resources and expenditures, and simplify voice network management. The
PBX-independent ETM System unifies the security and management of
distributed, multi-vendor voice environments. The ETM System is fully
functional in today’s TDM PBX environment, and
supports migration to Voice-Over-IP (VoIP)/Unified Communications.
“The role that voice networks play in ensuring
corporate and data security is emerging as a focus area for CIOs,”
said Rod Wallace, general manager for Security Services and Solutions at
Nortel. “SecureLogix is recognized as one of
the pioneers in the voice security market, and this relationship helps
Nortel to offer a unified, 360-degree means to view and mitigate threats
across corporate voice networks. Additionally, our customers can migrate
to Unified Communications with the full confidence that Nortel will
optimize their build-out with regard to cost and performance, while
providing the necessary protections to ensure the reliability,
confidentiality, and security of their business critical voice
communications.”
“SecureLogix is more than pleased with the
customer interest and revenue opportunities that the Nortel relationship
is already providing,” added Joe O’Donnell,
SecureLogix vice president of Worldwide Business Development. “We
have already inked a number of deals through this relationship, and it’s
a privilege to work with a global leader in Unified Communications.
Together, we are truly unifying enterprise telephony networks with
services and solutions that baseline, optimize and secure multi-vendor
telephony environments.”
“This relationship was spurred by our
customers,” added SecureLogix President Lee
Sutterfield. “Organizations are becoming more
aware of the threats to their telephony systems and the critical need
for dedicated voice network security and management solutions,
particularly as they consider migration to VoIP/Unified Communications.
Our expanding relationship with Nortel validates and heightens this
awareness. Without comprehensive voice
security technologies to ensure voice availability, quality of
service, and confidentiality, broad deployment of VoIP
and Unified
Communications will not be realized.”
